Howdy newbie.
Start by reading the threads that announce the various ROMs. Also use the search function to find useful messages on the process. In addition, read up on what the various components of a ROM flasher are (it's really several things...OS, bootloader, customizations, etc). Also understand what can go wrong and how to recover from problems. Then, go back and read it all again so that you understand that changing ROMs isn't a casual affair, it has risks. Choose your ROM carfully - most are customized for a specific carrier. All of the ones that I built are for Cingular.

Hello all....thank you for this great forum........I am a new user here and I have read many posts but didn't find the solution to my problem.....I hope You guys will help.....!!
I want to know.....how can I check that my phone is CID locked.......I have a G4 MDA.........and my phone is not SIM locked.........!!
One more qusetion....Is the wm5 AKU 3.3 rom safe for me......??
THANKS IN ADVANCE..........
no rom is safe. they all make you grow feathers and cluck like a chicken.
if you want your phone CID unlocked...just go through the steps to unlock it and if it's already unlocked then trying to unlock it again will do no harm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284292)
concerning the AKU 3.3 ROM by Faria/Molski...no cooked ROM is 100% safe but this is as close as you're gonna get to it
*edit* this would probably best be posted in the G4 subforum though
Thankyou for answering but my question is still unanswered....
I just want to know.......Is there any way to check whether my phone is CID locked or not........
Simple rule: if you didn't unlock... it's CID-locked
I know only one way (not preffered). Flash a 3.x G4 rom with only an OS in it. If you're OS version doesn't change... you CID-locked.
there is no safe way to check your CID. You can try flashing your phone. If it went
(a) unsuccessfull OR
(b) brick your phone
it means your phone is CID locked.
I have applied the ROM's from Molski AKU 3.0.0 and have the newest radio 2.61 but when I boot it says that I have OS version 1.8.11.1 is that correct or is there a newer version. Also can someone outline the most stable of WM6 ROM's and maybe even links to there locations.
TIA

No, I don't believe that is the proper OS version contained in Molski's ROM.
Do you have a G3 or G4?
If you have a G3 did you follow EVERY step in the Definitive Guide to Unlocking and Rom Upgrading G3 Wizards sticky post?
If you have a G4 did you go to the IMEI website (not sure of exact address but it is all over the forum) and CID unlock your phone? (This is the only currently known way to CID unlock a G4 device, using the G3 method will brick your phone)
If you are NOT CID unlocked you cannot install a custom ROM, you will only be able to install Official Roms released by your carrier. The phone may go through the steps and look like it is working but nothing will be overwritten and you will reboot with your previous rom, possibly with settings and data loss.
As far as WM6 roms go, scan the headlines of the first couple pages and you can find that answer for yourself by reading the ROM specific threads. Every user has different wants and needs and as such everyone will have different opinions about which ROM is "the Best' or "Most Stable". Note that all AKU 3.3 and WM6 roms have issues in one form or another, they haven't been released by carriers yet because they aren't stable. Read the threads to see if the known issues affect whether or not upgrading to one of them would be a good move for you.
As always if you aren't prepared for your device to be ruined you shouldn't be flashing at all. Granted flashing is relatively safe if you follow the proper steps for your specific device, most people like to jump in with both feet and skip they highly important part about reading and educating yourself first. I am not accusing you of doing this, but since your question seems to directly relate to an unlocking issue...
OK I have CID Unlocked as I am using a cingular 8125 on T-mobile without issue and I beleive it did flash correctly as I get the molski splash screen and the IPL/SPL were upgraded just not the OS. I have been doing ROM upgrades on other platforms of devices like the razor and the IPAQ H6315 so I think this is working correctly. I also was able to upgrade the radio from 2.?? to 2.47.1 to 2.61.1 without issue.
Am I Missing something. I used the lokiwiz ver 3a to unlock it.
Thanks for the feedback. Like I said I am not new to the upgrading just new to this platform(HTC Wizard)

Yes you did something wrong....If the OS won't flash you're not CID-unlocked! Follow the sticky post by the letter (it mentions version 2b, not 3a). And make sure you have a G3 before downgrading. For G4 look at G4 section.

you only need to SIM unlock to use a cingular phone on TMobile.
SIM unlock DOES NOT EQUAL CID unlock.
CID unlock allows you to flash non carrier ROMS into your phone.
Also Lokiwiz 2b is the recommended version for unlocking. I have read where people using other versions said it was successful when it actually wasn't. They tried using 2b and had success.
you guys are great I did follow the insturctions with the correct version and it worked like a charm. Now on to flashing WM6.

What version of WM6 are you going to work with?
Hows it going guys this is my first post....ive had so many problems since switching to cingular with my tmobile MDA its hillarious!...i unlocked the MDA...got it too work with Cingular! I thought everything was perfect untill i realized i couldnt receive any text messages from any other carriers. Meaning if i used my cousins cingular phone to text my phone it would work....if i used my sprint phone...nothing would reach my phone...so i serched n applied all kind of cingular MMS GPRS settings .CAB files still nothing. If i put my SIM into an offical cingular phone the same thing happens...so now im hoping if i put the cingular rom on my phone it will make things better.. I need to downgrade first because every CID tool i use wont work but i found out its because i have 2.25 so basically does anyone have an old 1.XX offical T-Mobile ROM backed up anywhere or know how i can receive all text messages from all carriers?? Thanks
welcome...and in the future if you take a few minutes to read the stickies and wiki, you may very well get your answer.
the following link is to a sticky which links to button's 1.05 rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
well thanks for the help but when i try installing that rom it locks up at 98% everytime and gives me an error....is this becaise of that CID thing is still locked????
Did you follow that tutorial step by step??? I had no problems with the button rom so I am not sure. I myself followed that tutorial when I recently unlocked my MDA and it went without a hitch...make sure you run lokiwiz twice and button twice. Not sure what else to tell you...sorry.

No, the Button rom is for the purpose of unlocking and is a really low IPL/SPL which was before the CID locking stuff was around.
I've read on another post that someone was having problems flashing the button rom like you are, and they were finally able to flash it by changing their radio rom first (I don't know if they had one of the newer radio's or what). Doesn't make sense to me as I've never seen that before, but what they heck, you could try downgrading to like the 2.19 T-Mo UK radio to see if that helps.
Also, have you tried flashing the T-Mobile 2.26 rom to your phone? Since this is an MDA and you are running Cingular 2.25 it sounds to me like you were already CID Unlocked (and you don't have to downgrade again to switch carrier roms, just switch).
It also is best to remove your sd card when doing the downgrading procedure.
i tried to update my wm5 to wm6 rc1 to my wiza200 (t mobile)
i followed all instructions as in Rc1 thread but this is what happened
my phone unlocked
cid unlocked
i upgrade the IPL/SPL to 3.08 both
but when try to install wm6 rc1 or any other wm6 it still give me the erorr 302
i tried to downgrade to IPL/SPL 2.26 but i failed all the times
please help me i lost every thing
please hellllp me i want either to install the WM6 or go back to tmobile wm5
note the only os can be installed on is WM6 ANTC V2.0 but it shows wm5 on my ppc i really confused here please help
thanks in advance

FIRST-- Please do not make repeated posts, you posted this same damned thread in the Wizard/Wizard section and again in the Wizard/Wizard upgrading section. It is New Years Eve, people are out partying rather than sitting on xda, if someone comes online and can answer they will.
SECONDLY-- the big font is rather annoying (see what I mean, by my post here)
Finally-- good luck. BTW, if you flash back to a stock rom then make sure you have followed all the unlocking steps EXACTLY, you should be able to flash any rom after the stock rom. And while I am not sure, but if you were able to flash a custom rom, then it is WM6, even if it reads WM5 somewhere.
PS- I believe error 302 has something to do with unlocking the phone...you may not be unlocked. You need to be CID unocked. Read the unlocking sticky carefully and after reflashing a stock rom, make certain you have cid unlocked your phone (as I stated above)...get into the bootloader mode and make sure you use a STOCK rom.
Your phone isn't completely unlocked, go to the unlocking sticky thread and read on how to unlock your phone there. Also, please don't make giant text sizes, that shows impatience and it's just plain rude.
A quick search of the wiki and kaiser forums didn't find anything related to this so here goes...
I have a gray market Kaiser bought about 1 yr ago and it came with a 1.81.707 WWE ROM installed. The Network Wizard displays countries such as Australia, India, HK, Singapore, etc. so I'm guessing the phone was originally targeted for sale in that area of the world.
I recently tried to upgrade to the official 6.1 WWE ROM, but the install failed with a message about the ROM not matching the phone. I'm assuming the phone has been CID locked so it won't work with the new WWE ROM and I'd like to know what official ROM would actually work with this phone.
Is there any non-permanent method of finding out what the CID Lock is currently set to? A couple of the unlocker apps appear to provide this facility however I'm only interested in using official ROMs with this phone. Therefore I haven't run any of the SIM/CID/SPL utilities available in the other Kaiser forums.
You need to read the Wiki and make sure you HardSPl before any flashing is done, I would also recommend you get it sercurity unlocked. All this information can be found in the Wiki.

Thanks for the pointer to the wiki and on HardSPL. After watching the forums for the past couple of years and reading the wiki I'm well aware of the recommendations around flashing new unofficial ROMs.
However my question is slightly different. I'm trying to find out if it is possible to find out what the CID lock setting for the phone is without having to load HardSPL or one of the other related unlock tools.
Any ideas are appreciated.
As far as I know it can only be done with these apps. OliPro has a SIM/CID unlocker that you can use. You dont have to unlock the handset if you dont want to but it will show you the current CID code. Hope this helps
